           Summary: pam_mount suggests to specify "fskeyhash" when
                    mounting a LUKS partition
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 11.3
           Version: Final

When mounting a LUKS-encrypted partition with pam_mount on login, pam_mount
gives the following warning:

pam_mount(rdconf1.c:1325): Volume /dev/sda8: consider specifying the fskeyhash
pam_mount(rdconf1.c:1325): Volume /dev/sda8: consider specifying the fskeyhash

(yes, the warning appears twice)

Specifiying an fskeyhash for a LUKS-partition doesn't make sense (it's all in
the LUKS header) and if I set an fskeyhash for a LUKS partition in
/etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml it is actually ignored. In short: This warning
shouldn't be there.

If I look at bugs like http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580430
in den Debian bugtracker, it seems like pam_mount is probably warning about the
missing fskeyhash in other situations (like mounting tmpfs) in which it doesn't
make sense.

I talked to the pam_mount upstream author (Jan Engelhardt) and this problem
seems to be fixed in more current versions of pam_mount.

Thanks in advance!

Reproducible: Always
